Race for Water

We have recounted in detail the first Race for Water expedition, which ended with the capsize of the eponymous MOD 70 trimaran.

The expedition’s aim was to take stock of the oceans
and their pollution on a worldwide scale. Now Race for Water is setting off
again for a 5-year program (2017 – 2021) around the world on the new Race for
Water catamaran (the former PlanetSolar), a boat which is 100% independent,
thanks to solar energy and hydrogen.

The program will take the cat to Bermuda and
California in 2017 – 2018, then the North Pacific and the China Sea until 2020,
and finally the Middle East in 2020 – 2021.
